| Abstract | |
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of skimmed milk powder and sugar inclusion on the viability of probiotic microorganisms and on the quality of skimmed fermented milk. Eight different treatments were prepared: 1. Skimmed and standardized milk (SM) at 0,2% of fat (SM 0,2%F); 2. SM 0,2%F + 5% of milk powder (MP); 3. SM 0,2%F + 10% MP; 4.SM 0,2%F + 15% MP; 5. SM 0,2%F + 5% MP + 5% of sugar (S); 6. SM 0,2%F + 10% MP + 5% S; 7. SM 0,2%F + 15%MP + 10%S; 8. SM 0,2%F + 10%S. The mixed lactic culture DVS ABT-4 (Chr-Hansen) containing Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium animalis and Lactobacillus acidophilus was prepared and placed in all the treatments for the fermented milk fermentation and production. The product was bottled and stored at 5°C for the subsequent analyses. The fermented milks were submitted to physical-chemical, microbiological and sensory analyses on the 1st, 10th and 21st days after production. Results for the physic-chemical analyses showed that all the treatments comprised the requirements as adopted in Brazilian regulations. All the physical-chemical variables were constant during the 21 days of storage, except for the pH, which decreased during storage because of the fermented milks post-acidification. For the microbiological analyses, greater numbers, especially the probiotic bacteria, were obtained in treatments with higher milk powder content (treatments 3, 4, 6 and 7), with significant statistical differences among all the treatments. However, the sugar addition did not interfere with the recovery of probiotic bacteria in the fermented milks. The microbiological data were constant during the 21 days of storage. Results obtained in the sensory analyses showed that treatment 6 was the one with higher grades on days 1, 10 and 21 of storage, hence indicating that this composition is the best one among those studied for acceptability of the product with greater viability of probiotic bacteria.
